SUMMARY:The Faces Of Ruth Asawa
DESCRIPTION:From the mid-1960s through 2000\, Asawa created hundreds of individual face masks out of clay. With the Cantor’s Asian American Art Initiative\, this wall of 233 masks becomes a permanent part of their collection. \nThe Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI) transforms Stanford into the leading academic and curatorial center for Asian American art. Alexander and Marci Kwon\, assistant professor in Stanford’s Department of Art and Art History\, serve as AAAI co-directors. As part of the initiative\, the Cantor works to build the preeminent collection of Asian American art at a university art museum. \nThe Cantor acquired Untitled (LC.012\, Wall of Masks) in 2020. On July 6\, 2022\, they go on long-term view at the museum\, marking the first time this work has been shown in its entirety at any museum or public institution. The focused exhibition\, The Faces of Ruth Asawa\, curated by Alexander\, features the masks and three vessels by Asawa’s son Paul Lanier. These special vessels were created with clay mixed with the ashes of Asawa\, her husband Albert\, and their late son\, Adam. Upon Asawa’s death—per her request—Lanier took this material and threw a set of vessels\, one for each remaining sibling. The three included in The Faces of Ruth Asawa were borrowed from the family. Their inclusion in the exhibition further demonstrates Asawa’s deeply intimate connection to clay. \nHear from Asawa’s family and friends\, including mask subjects\, about her process making the masks > \nThe museum is open Wed – Sun\, free with reservations. Reserve here > \nEnd date is open-ended.

SUMMARY:Installation: Ruth Asawa: Untitled (S.272)
DESCRIPTION:An iconic work by a beloved and influential Bay Area artist\, Untitled (S.272) is a nine-foot-tall hanging sculpture composed of looped copper and iron wire\, created in the mid-1950s by Ruth Asawa (American\, 1926–2013). This second installation in the Fang Family Launchpad is a masterful example of the suspended\, abstract works of looped wire for which Asawa is best known. Its airy interior and exterior spaces flow seamlessly into one another\, using organic lines that evoke shapes found in nature — including the human body — while also suggesting a gently undulating movement.    \nMuseum Hours:\nThu:\n1 PM – 8 PM\nFri–Mon:\n10 AM–5 PM\nTue–Wed:\nClosed \nPhoto: Ruth Asawa\, Untitled (S.272\, Hanging Seven-Lobed Continuous Interlocking Form with Spheres in Two Lobes)\, approx. 1954.

SUMMARY:Collection 2: Undo\, Redo
DESCRIPTION:The Collection 2 exhibition focuses on the way artists undo and redo existing materials\, structures\, and history along with the state of their works.

The exhibition also includes many other recent acquisitions. \nThe exhibition title was inspired by I Do\, I Undo\, I Redo\, a work by Bourgeois that was shown in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in 2000\, and the creative activities of artists such as Aiko Tezuka\, two of whom’s works were added to the museum collection in 2023. \nArtists:\nLouise BOURGEOIS\, Ruth ASAWA\, Leonor ANTUNES\, Tetsumi KUDO\, Shigeo ANZAÏ\, Sopheap PICH\, Yoko TERAUCHI\, Chiharu SHIOTA\, Zon ITO\, Izumi KATO\, Tomoaki ISHIHARA\, Kei TAKEMURA\, Rei NAITO\, Yayoi KUSAMA\, Ryoko AOKI\, Mari KATAYAMA\, BuBu de la Madeleine\, Miyako ISHIUCHI\, Saori AKUTAGAWA(MADOKORO)\, Tiger TATEISHI(Koichi・Taigaa)\, Tadanori YOKOO\, Miran FUKUDA\, Akira SHIMIZU\, Pei-Shih TU\, Sterling RUBY\, Aiko TEZUKA \nJiro TAKAMATSU\, Henry MOORE\, Marino MARINI\, Joan MIRÓ\, Alexander CALDER\, Yoshihiro SUDA\, Mark MANDERS\n*Exhibits are subject to change. \nThe Museum is open 10:00–17:00 (last admission 16:30) \nFridays and Saturdays until 20:00 (last admission 19:30). \nClosed Mondays \nHours and Admission \n \nFree admission days\nFebruary 15\, March 1\, April 5\, May 3 and 18.
